Take this little bench I found at a flea market last weekend. It is charming in it's own beat-up, shabby way, but it had the most disgusting seat cover ever.
Take a look at the underneath. It was really coming apart!
I was really tempted to keep the shabby and trashed wood the way it is. However, I knew that it would look really out of place in the foyer, which is unfortunate. So, I gave it a couple of coats of primer and white paint to spruce it up a little.
I bought padding foam for the seat. Who knew padding could be so expensive? The fabric was cheap though! It was over 75% off, which was a bonus.
Do you like the Peace Lily? It's my favourite plant in the house.

Ooh, love the stripes!
Awesome BEFORE and AFTER, Su! I love it!
Nicely done! You sure transformed it into hot, contemporary eye candy
That looks good and clean! Much can be said for clean looking. I like the idea of leaving the "worn look" but who can say anything bad about this bench. It looks fun and sensible.
Lovely!!!!! (Oh, and i have a little peace lilly. His name is hector. ;-))
That is awesome! For real. :) Loving the stripes so so much.
